Hacked email accounts, bank scams, identity theft — nothing makes us feel more vulnerable than when our online security has been compromised. While no one can be 100% protected from cyber attacks, there are ways to avoid becoming a victim.
2023 was a record year for data theft in the U.S, with more than 350 million people affected, according to the Identity Theft Research Center. The FBI reported incidents of cyber crime were also up, leading to a potential $12.5 billion in individual losses. Businesses are victims, too: Statista found that almost 70% of organizations experienced ransomware attacks between 2022-2023, costing companies millions. As cyber crimes become more sophisticated, both employees and employers need to make an extra effort to keep their information safe, and it starts with their inbox.
